the china anti-doping agency issued a statement on the 13th regarding the independent prosecutor’s complete review report. the following is the full text of the statement:

on september 12, the world anti-doping agency (wada) released to the world the complete review report of the swiss independent prosecutor on the innocent trimetazidine incident involving 23 chinese swimmers. the report clearly pointed out that the innocent trimetazidine incident involving 23 chinese swimmers was a simple mass doping pollution incident, and there was no evidence that wada had any favoritism or care when reviewing the decision of the china anti-doping center to close the case against these 23 athletes and not take further action; there was no evidence that any entity or organization inside or outside wada, including the china anti-doping center, intervened or interfered with the above review; the investigation did not find any violations by wada when reviewing the decision of the china anti-doping center.

the report also pointed out that, considering the background of the covid-19 pandemic at the time, the china anti-doping center had done its best to carry out relevant investigations. when dealing with the contamination incident, it actively communicated with the world anti-doping agency and the international swimming federation (later renamed the world swimming federation), and maintained a cooperative, open and transparent attitude. therefore, all internal and external factors show that wada's decision not to challenge the contamination made by the china anti-doping center from the perspective of facts and applicable rules is reasonable. this not only proves once again that the china anti-doping center's investigation and handling of the facts of the incident are reasonable, and there is no "cover-up" problem that was unfoundedly accused and deliberately fabricated by individual organizations and media such as the united states anti-doping agency (usada), the new york times, and german tv one; at the same time, it proves that the existing global anti-doping system is open, transparent and worthy of the trust of athletes around the world.
